CEA Global Education has a talented and experienced academic staff with rich U.S. campus and international experience. They are all professional international educators who know education abroad from their own experience and from leading programs overseas. As active professionals, they contribute to the field in various ways, including with papers, publications and presentations. Here is a sampling of some current work and work in progress.
As a sponsor of the International Symposium “A World in Danger: Financial Mismanagement, State Regulation and Ethical Necessity” (Paris, June 2009), Dr. Scott Blair, Academic Dean and professor of International Relations at CEA’s Global Campus in Paris, participated in a roundtable discussion on the Political Constraints of Financial Interdependence. Dr. Blair is also a participating member in the National Society for Experiential Education (NSEE).
